    Falken azenis FK453, anyone have a review on em?

    Debating between then Falken vs. Bridgestone potenza RE760. They both have similar ratings, but the Falken's have a $80 rebate from discount tire... From what I've gathered so far is its a relitively new tire, so finding reviews is challenging. Don't know if anyone has them on here. If I get no...

    consider dropping an inch on the rim?

    Had my first track day with the car Thursday and know I need to get off all season tires! So my question is, is anyone running 17" for track days? I have all seasons on my stock rims. I am going to run winter tires on my 16" rims I acquired on a trade from a 10' Mazda 3.I'm now considering...

    Racing Helmet (Size M)

    $75 plus shipping (only con. u.s.) Pyrotect SA2005 Gloss black open face racing helmet I bought it from another user and realized two things. One: Insurance doesn't cover me in anyway shape or form if I'm racing on a closed course. Two: too expensive to race :( I'm in area code 44107...

    You like my set up?

    I only drove around the block like this... Looks like I've got drag slicks or something.... Going to have all four of the 16's on for winter. Jus thought this was a funny look. Is anyone else doing something like this? There is about 1/32" clearance between the caliper and the weights on the...

    Stock 2011 16" alloys

    $400 plus ship from 44107 I traded a set of my speed 3 rims for these. I'm going to use them as winter set up. As time goes on, I'm realizing I'm most likely just going to trash them. I want to sell these and just get steel so I don't have to worry about washing them or smashing into a curb...

    under engine plastic shroud cover thing

    Just changed the transmission fluid and had to remove that thing. What a pain in the dick! Only two of the bolts were able to come out without snapping the welds. On the one side, it broke the plastic around the bolts, and now is held together by fishing line! I'll change that to zip ties...

    WTT: Stock speed3 rims for reg 3 rims WARNING- lots of pics

    I want new winter rims. I want more rubber. These 18"s just aren't really cutting it in the C-town area in the winters.... They aren't in the best shape. As a matter of fact, I believe two of them are "bent" and all have some sort of scratch... They all hold air and all balance. The weights fell...

    BOSE sub. Anyone try cuting a hole in the box w/success?

    So tiny... I took the sub out of the box and hooked it up to the house stereo and it sounds better w/o the box. I also found .36 cents in the box. So I'm hoping when I hook it back up in the car, some rattle stops. But my question is, has anyone tried to modify the BOSE box and had success...

    making a knocking noise

    ...just started making a knocking noise... the car is shaking at idle and there is a knocking noise from the bay. What is it? Was on my way off the highway when it started.

    How easy/hard is it to do? I need some pointers and what not. Don't want to pay the dealer $150. I'm sure I can do it for around $20 + time. I know animals will die if they lick it... It's sweet like suga! Anyone do there's yet?

    Power Steering flush

    I just syphoned the reservoir out, filled it with the new dex III fluid. Turned the car on, moved the wheel all the way left and then right a few times. Then I repeated it one more time. Do you think that's good enough? Or should I be pulling a line and draining it all out at once? Anyone...

    Is it the front sway bar bushings?

    There is a clunking noise that sounds like it could be the shocks... Shocks were exspensive, but I replaced the rears and the noise stopped in the rear. I then heard it in the front. Replaced the front and the clunk is still there. I had the Koni yellows on the softest setting, and decided to...

    Did my 6-disk BOSE cd player brake?

    To me this was pretty funny. I've been using the crap out of the ipod in the car. Took all the cd's out and stayed out for about four months or so. Well the other day, I went to put a Damien Rice cd in, and it wouldn't take it. I'm like WTF?! Take the cd b****! She wouldn't. I tried, and...
